mural






















Writers of the SCORM mural, acrylic, 2011

This past long weekend I clocked in a lot of time inside, staring at this wall. I was commissioned to create a mural for an IT room. I was really happy with the end result, and it felt good to be working at that large of scale again as it has been a little while. I think I may end up re-purposing the idea for a print.

SCORM is an acronym for Sharable Content Object Reference Model. I got a ton of creative control which was awesome, and everyone in the IT department seemed to love it, no word on HR's thoughts on the smoking gun yet.

Detailed pic below and of course your song of the day is "Riders of the Storm" after the jump.


twenty
















The "Twenty" poster for Friday's show, they did a wicked job on it, which I can't take credit for unfortunately.


This Friday, August 5th, there will be a show being held at the Resolution Art Gallery in Kensington. The show's theme is about being in your 20s, and there will be at least 20 artists showing I believe. I have one painting being displayed, which I created for the show.

You can find more information at the Twenty Group Exhibition website here.

And see the facebook event page here.

Below is a piece of my preliminary drawing, come to the show to see the finished work!

framed piece






















Dom's office

Dom sent me an image of her newly framed "Lazy Bones" piece up in her office. Her boss told her the skeletons were "very morbid" which she responded with " you should see the rest of the collection". They're not that morbid are they?
